The Voice of Victory: One Man’s Journey to Freedom Through Healing and Forgiveness

by Wayne Messmer

The Voice of Victory is the autobiographical account of Wayne Messmer, “Chicago’s Original Voice of the National Anthem.” The book canvasses his rise to fame as a premier singer of the National Anthem at major sporting and civic events; his career as a broadcaster, professional speaker and sports personality; and his devastating, near-fatal experience of being shot in the throat as an innocent victim of a random act of violence. The story focuses on hope; dedication to following a dream while overcoming the overwhelming odds of adversity by tapping into the powerful foundation of faith, family, friends and forgiveness.

Wayne Messmer holds the Certified Professional Speaker (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association. He also holds a professional membership in SAG/AFTRA, the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Radio and Television Artists. He holds a B.M.E. in Music Education, an M.Ed. in Guidance and Counseling and a PhD in Theocentric Psychology. He and wife Kathleen peacefully reside near their hometown and favorite city of Chicago.
